Green Thoughts........



Royal Golf - which we use as a drop off and pick up spot when we are meeting friends who live in the country - is just outside the medina and is a positive oasis of green.......



I like the reflections of the palm trees on the grass...........



and walking round admiring the luxuriant trees...........



This last picture was taken, of all things at the bus station, but it looks nice and gardenish...........

Hanging round at the Golf Club

Because we don't have a car, getting out to the country depends upon good organization or the kindness of friends.
Yesterday we were going out to lunch about 25km out of town.



We got ourselves to the golf club by petit taxi to wait for our friends to pick us up.
Obviously it was no great hardship to hang round there under shady trees.



The ubiquitous hibiscus, but a better photo than my last effort.



Even though Marrakech is in the desert, this was an oasis of color with lovely flowers.



Mopeds and motor cycles by an outbuilding.



A plant whose name I don't know............



and nasturtiums..............



a bench to relax on.
All sorts of fancy SUV's arrived all the time depositing keen golfers.
Our ride was far less glamorous but very welcome nonetheless...
